Elizabeth Bishop: House Guest “If after I read a poem the world looks like that poem for 24 hours or so I'm sure it's a good one—and the same goes for paintings.” Elizabeth Bishop’s “House Guest” is a brilliantly written poem that this quote would perfectly apply to. “House Guest” was written by Bishop in 1968. It is about a seemingly depressed seamstress that is unwilling to do anything. Bishop had a very unique writing style and was influenced by many events and people throughout her life.…

music” (Cohen 249). In both films, music is played that coincides with particular scenes that make the audience feel a specific emotion. For instance, in Pirate Radio, the song “So Long, Marianne” is played after Carl finds his crush, Marianne, in bed with another man. This song represents Carl’s loss of Marianne to another man, and also makes the audience feel sympathetic towards Carl. In Love Actually, the song “All I Want For Christmas Is You” applies very well to the overall plot and theme…

race to sociologists Barbara J. Fields, Kingsley Davis, Wilbert E. Moore, Marianne Bertrand, and Sendhil Mullainathan. In a larger context, the social construct of race is a system of schematism; race is a socially assigned grouping based on human appearance. Although the notion of race seems innocuous, it is in reality an insidious and overly simplified social…

Elizabeth Bishop had never wanted to be considered just a female poet, lesbian poet, or otherwise. Instead, she wanted to be known as a great poet and for most scholars she is. However, those parts of her personality, especially her sexuality, are hard to ignore and do not necessarily have to be. Bishop’s sexuality, while well known to her friends, was something she intended to keep veiled both in her poetry as well as in general. Still, her early works were relatively open about her sexuality,…

an unstressed-stress pattern and throwing off the rhythm of the poem. Most of the lines in the poem appear to be pentameter, and even though some lines are not, they still contain ten syllables and five stresses. In contrast, To a Chameleon by Marianne Moore has no detectable regular rhythm, as each line has a different amount of stresses, making a metre impossible to identify for the poem in its entirety. This is shown when we compare line one, “Hid by the august foliage and fruit of the…

One Art- Elizabeth Bishop Elizabeth Bishop, “One of the most important American poets of the twentieth century” as written by Larry Rohter of the New York Times. Elizabeth Bishop was a famous American poet and short-story writer, producing over 100 works during her lifetime. As a child, Bishop’s parents were abruptly removed from her life before she reached the age of being able to remember them long term.

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
